Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 521 521 Eastern Front

The next morning, a level of general excitement and concern in the Den area woke Wolfe up with a sense of unease. The residents of Forest Grove were preparing for something big, and it must have happened overnight while he was sleeping.

Wolfe climbed out of bed and left Ella wrapped around Kira, who, despite her protests at being used like a stuffed animal, actually greatly enjoyed not sleeping alone. Normally, she would sleep next to one of the student witches, who were among the only children or teens here without their parents, but Ella had gotten a hold of her last night and claimed the evening as "Girls' Bonding Time."

After a quick shower, he dressed in a casual cargo pants and tank top version of his armour spell, and went out to see what the commotion was. Janet, their lead engineer from the design department, ran over as soon as she saw him come out into the hallways, already prepared with notes to make sure that she got to everything.

"Wolfe, it's good that you are up. The war has started. The witches attacked the Grand Dutchies at dawn. They have requested that the other human nations stay out of their business and informed them that they will also be invaded if they try to help the Grand Dutchies.

From what we can tell, the villages on the front line are following your instructions. They waited until the witches had moved into the Mundane Army's artillery range, and then they ambushed them.

The reports that we are getting are declaring upward of sixty percent casualties on the witch side, and Nerve Gas deployed, but the United World Military has brought in tanks and jets of their own to fight against the Grand Dutchies.

The villages there are in full retreat, and we are expecting them here at the forest by the end of the day.

It's not safe to stay anywhere near the border anymore, since it's not just anti-magic nerve gas that they're using, but toxic stuff too for the humans.

The ammunition line is going well, since there are four Rank Two witches there to run your new inscription, and the garden is in overdrive, but there isn't nearly enough space in the kitchens to prepare everything that they think we will need. The stalls are doing what they can to prepare and stock up for an influx of fifty thousand, but we're not sure that we will manage to create enough by the end of the day.

Then there are the other spells, the armour spells, the lodging spells to give the new arrivals somewhere to go, and the showers, and what else was there? Oh, right. We're seriously low on healing potions for the numbers of wounded that we are expecting, and so far, we only have you that can purge the damage from the nerve gas on mana systems."

Wolfe raised a hand there to stop her.

"There are no Witch blooded residents in those villages, I asked so that we could bring them here for training to help their homes and families. Your witches should be able to help the ones that have been hit with conventional nerve gas. Even many of the Rank One witches can take care of that."

Janice looked confused for a second, then brightened up. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that they grabbed all the Nerve Gassed witches that fled the battle, and they're bringing the deserters here. Someone in the Eastern Border group told them that if they swear loyalty to you, then they can break their ties to their home continent and get sanctuary here."

Wolfe looked back to where Kira was sleeping in the rooms down the hall and sighed. He would put good money on it being her father who came up with that particularly brilliant plan.

It actually was a brilliant plan, with only a small hint of sarcasm because once they had the Servant's Mark they wouldn't betray them, but he was going to need more help to get so many witches sorted out in a short period of time with all that they had to do here.

"Alright, we can work with that. I will meet them at the eastern edge of the forest, and I can do the cleansing and swearing in there. Then I am going to have to go find more Magi to help us out. One of me is no longer going to be enough to take care of this." Wolfe sighed.

Ella walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "In that case, how about I return to the city and have a little talk with your family members? They should know who else has potential, and they can likely spare us a few to help out, unless they're openly just being Magi in the Fortress City now."

Wolfe laughed at the thought. The last he had heard from them, they were happily guarding the fields, and a few were sneakily helping the witches with nerve gas damage, but that wasn't common knowledge throughout the city.

There weren't many of them that could use magic on that level anyhow, but if he brought them here and brought them into the Noxus Magi Family, and not just the local Crime Family, then he could boost their skills much more quickly.

Wolfe turned around and picked Ella up to kiss her, then gave her backside a squeeze before setting her down again.

"Alright. Your family has good relations with basically everyone, so I will leave it to you to get in contact with the right people so that we can get a few Magi sent here. It will be a delicate matter, but I'll make you some fancy formal robes to represent Forest Grove before you go, in case you have to get the Coven involved." Wolfe agreed.

"I will send a message to the Noxus guys to sneak me back inside. The city is still officially on lockdown." Ella sighed, then smirked.

"On second thought, I've got a better idea. I'm going to get the Headmistress to sneak me back in. Surely, she won't turn down a chance for a Rank Three Garden Charm."
